Exemplar Tube OPPO 105 with Every Upgrade

*Exemplar OPPO 105*

John Tucker modified Oppo 105 with Tubes and Outboard Power Supply. John makes the best DACs I have ever heard, by anyone. Below is a review from Norm Luttberg of Stereo Times that'll say the same thing using a lot more words: http://www.stereotimes.com/post/exemplar-expo-t105-digital-player/ This is the fully upgraded Oppo 105 which includes most recent upgraded DAC chip for the 105, and switchable dual outputs so you can bi-amp right off the unit. You can switch between single RCA outs or dual RCA outs. The Dual Amps have John's secret treatment to make the signal even cleaner yet. The video RCA outs were removed to do this, so this is for audio only. You can hook any USB hard drive up to the unit and it acts like a server and DAC in one. Or just use it as the absolutely incredible DAC alone. Also play through the CD drive. NOTE: The modifications include an outboard power supply for the analog tube stage, necessitating a second power cord. Only reason for sale is to upgrade with John. This unit is priced well below normal value for quick sale. *DESCRIPTION:* - Separate High performance Shunt Regulated Power Supplies.
